The Method Bookshelf Mk.I is a compact, passive, front-ported loudspeaker designed for bookshelf or stand mounting. It uses an 8-inch coaxial driver with a paper cone and a coaxially mounted Eminence ASD-1001 high-frequency driver. Zu specifies a minimal-loss tri-pole electrical high-pass filter for the tweeter and no electrical low-pass filter on the main driver. The cabinet has a short-pipe front port, removable magnetic grilles, and five-way binding posts. Manufacturer specifications list a five-year warranty.
